The Delaware Basin is a geologic depositional and structural basin in West Texas and southern New Mexico, famous for holding large oil fields and for a fossilized reef exposed at the surface. Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Carlsbad Caverns National Park protect part of the basin.
The Permian Basin comprises several component basins, including the Midland Basin, which is the largest; Delaware Basin, the second largest; and Marfa Basin, the smallest. The Permian Basin covers more than 86,000 square miles (220,000 km 2), [1] and extends across an area approximately 250 miles (400 km) wide and 300 miles (480 km) long. [2]
The formation consists of up to 300 feet (91 m) [3] of gypsum or anhydrite with a few thin beds of limestone. [3] [2] The formation is found within the Delaware Basin and was deposited after the formation of the Capitan Formation, the fossil reef defining the margins of the Delaware Basin. [4]

Per EIA, output from the Permian Basin is expected to rise by 23Mbbl/d month over month to 4,173 Mbbl/d in October.
These extend from the Goat Seep reef, an earlier and much smaller precursor to the Capitan reef, into what was then deep, anoxic water of the Permian Basin. A lower tongue of the formation extends across the basin margin to grade into the nearby San Andres Formation. Maximum thickness of the Cherry Canyon Formation is 400 meters (1,300 ft).
